blooms and words that make my heart explode

"White, wan, slender, and very beautiful in the moonlight, she was expecting tenderness; her constant dreams of happiness and love had exhausted her"

~ Anton Chekhov; A Visit.

"You’re beautiful, but you’re empty…. no one could die for you."

~ The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives. That’s the only lasting thing you can create.

~ Chuck Palahniuk
